PHOTOSHannah Brown Explains Her Emotional Showdown With Judge Carrie Ann Inaba On 'DWTS'
Hannah Brown will not allow her emotions to get the best of her! During the November 18 episode of Dancing With The Stars, Hannah, 25, had an emotional showdown with judge Carrie Ann Inaba about her tough critiques.
When Carrie, 51, sat in on rehearsals to help Hannah with her rumba routine, the judge criticized the Bachelorette star’s hip movements. After hearing her comments, Hannah was upset that she wasn’t able to apply the corrections. Carrie attempted to console Hannah but was brushed away instead.
“I don’t want to be touched,” she said to Carrie. Shortly after, Carrie apologized. “I’m sorry because that’s not what we’re here for,” she said. “My job is to help you.”
When it came down to the performance, Hannah and her partner Alan Bersten gave the judges a show worthwhile. The stellar routine earned the duo a 27 out of 30 from the judges. Following her great reviews, Hannah apologized to Carrie for her behavior in rehearsals.
“I just want to say I am so sorry if it seemed like I was dismissive of you trying to help me,” she said. “I had a really hard day that day and it was really emotional trying to learn my contemporary, and I didn’t handle my emotions very well and I know you’re trying to help me.”
Hannah admitted that competing on the show is hard work and requires a sense of vulnerability. “Vulnerability is hard,” Hannah revealed. “I’ve been very vulnerable on these shows that I’ve been on, but to have Alan ask some of the questions that he did and to explain and go into the dance about it — it was emotionally draining. It really was.”
She continued, “There are some times where being on the shows are great. Sometimes it’s hard, when it’s just like, ‘the show must go on,’ and there’s a TV show that’s being done.”
For Monday’s upcoming episode, the final four celebrities – Hannah, Ally Brooke, Lauren Alaina and Kel Mitchell will compete during the live finale.
